Um, a classic case of what? Of someone explicitly taking responsibility for 
their own position? I believe you made a statement at one time about not 
wanting it to appear that the "x" constituency or constituency was 
interfering somehow in the process of creating new constituencies, 
particularly for individuals. Wait...it was part of your document for the 
NC discussion about the GA and a working group on the individuals' 
constituency.

"it would seem more appropriate to me if this self-formation process was 
managed and facilitated by the parties who are seeking constituancy status 
rather than members of other constituancies......."

As an advocate for an individuals' constituency, I agree with your 
reasoning regarding that part of your statement - hence I don't belong to 
any existing constituency. What I disagree with you about is where the 
self-organizing process can or should occur, but that isn't a topic for 
this WG as far as I can tell.

Why in the world would I assert that? The idea has never crossed my mind. I 
will assert that others who lack the options that I have personally are 
disenfranchised. No one but myself is responsible for my personal choice, 
though.

Oh, and Ken? Please see the discussion with Kent regarding Power and 
Consensus for the effect of concentrating on "who said it" rather than 
"what was said". Thanks :)
